Why did Senator Obama vote for the Class Fairness Act 2005?

[amdt57]

“Under the [Class Action Fairness Act of 2005], citizens are denied the right to use their own state courts to bring class actions against corporations that violate these state wage and hour and state civil rights laws, even where that corporation has hundreds of employees in that state. Moving these state law cases into federal court will delay and likely deny justice for working men and women and victims of discrimination. The federal courts are al­ready overburdened. Additionally, federal courts are less likely to certify classes or provide relief for violations of state law”.

This legislation, which dramatically im­paired labor rights, consumer rights and civil rights, involved five years of pres­sure from 100 corporations, 475 lobby­ists, tens of millions of corporate dollars buying influence in our government, and the active participation of the Wall Street firms now funding the Obama campaign.

Well I wish we could force feed the truth about obama to his supporters. They just refuse to research the man. He purports to be for the people, when he is just trying to raise himself up.he has no interest in allowing people to actually know his background and realizing just how much he is keeping from them. McCain , thank god, will be our next President. The USA will be free no longer if Hussein spends any time as President, he is a sham and a sell-out.
